Got the beat from Chris Smith and wanted to totally capture what I think that early 80's vibe was like. Of course I was born around that time so I mixed in some of my New Hampshire humor and feel with talk of corn mazes and fishtailing pickup trucks. The last verse I really broke down to and old school flow, single syllable rhyming. Which I think is even more difficult to sound good with, due to today's emphasis on technicality.
